Why is it so hard for government to see that continued tax pressures does nothing but put people off wanting to invest or grow businesses in the UK. There is a balance needed & we should be looking to create growth not stifle it.
I invest a lot. Mainly into expanding British companies. This creates new jobs, growth and increased revenues for the Government. It is also risky. Even with decades of experience, it's tough to get the winners to outpace the losers. If Government increases tax on investments (via Capital Gains Tax) and makes it more complicated and expensive to employ people, I will invest less in the UK and more elsewhere. It's that simple.

Personally think pedestrianisation in urban areas is key, should be pushed but needs time. Locations need scrutinising by many stakeholders - built environment / real estate owners should be front and centre From ⁦@BBCNews⁩ / ⁦@Telegraph⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

Maybe we need to call up our friends in #Switzerland. These companies have such responsibility on their shoulders. TransPennine: More than 50 trains axed in single day - BBC News bbc.com/news/uk-england-manc…
Live footage of @AvantiWestCoast at @NetworkRailEUS today according to my gf who has informed me they don’t have a #train #driver. Couldn’t make it up 😂 you have to laugh! Perhaps it should be ‘Fantastically Awful Journey’ #westcoast
Avanti West Coast: ⁦@GOVUK⁩ considers withdrawing rail operator's contract - BBC News ⁦@KatyAustinNews⁩ - what’s the latest here? Hearing yet more delays from Euston now. Gone are the days of being able to book dinner post train journey! bbc.com/news/business-628242…
This is an incredible action
Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard is giving away the company. He and his family have transferred all the company’s voting stock into a trust, with the rest of the shares going to a nonprofit. Here's the letter from Yvon:

Still waiting for a response from @AvantiWestCoast following the disgrace last night at Oxenholme where passengers on the last train north were locked in the station. Totally unacceptable and inexcusable.

‘Radical plans’ needed to save shopping centre developments More to it than stated - one area missed: health & wellness. These centres are often well located & should remain central to locations with core amenities provided. Think CDCs & NHS outpatients thetimes.co.uk/article/6eb58…
We continually talk about being more sustainable & energy efficient. What about social economics? Are these screens needed, do they remove the human interaction & add unnecessary energy for short term gain / leading to potential removal of a job?

Never ceases to amaze me how some struggle so much with technology 🤔😂 & at that - a basic use of basic tech! After a pandemic you’d have thought people would be up to speed!
Hi @tfllostproperty my gf has sadly lost a Pearl earring at #blackfriars tube station this morning, between 9-10am. Please could you DM me if anyone has handed it in. 🙏 thanks @TfL
